I love how this goes from fighting a cartoonish chef bird and now Mario fights this hyper realistic dragon that looks like something out of the elder scrolls
It's called the "ruined" kingdom for a reason, nothing else to find there because everything was RUINED aka destroyed, everyone packed out and no one lives there anymore so it makes sense that there isn't much to find.
@@Jarock316 Nintendo didn't even recant. They just phrased that line poorly and clarified what they meant. Mario never stopped being a plumber. A poorly-translated Japanese line just became a source of lots of clickbait articles a few years ago.
João Paulo Aguiar Psst. He actually came from a land of dragons and dragon riders called Valyria. But than an event of apocalyptic proportions happened and dragons and dragon riders almost went extinct. But the Targaryens fled before they were caught in the Doom of Valyria.
Bowser: “Let’s see you survive this Plumber Boy!” Mario speaking to the Dragon: “You need not follow this false god, Dovah. He only seeks destruction and power, and does not care for how he carries it. It is the same evil that had consumed our elder Dovah Alduiin. Join me and I will teach you the Way of the Voice, and you take your place among your fellow Dovah.
When I first encountered this boss, I absolutely lost it. It was awesome to see a boss like this in a Mario game! The resemblance between him and Alduin is pretty insane, though..
This looks cool, but It would be cooler if the boss fight were harder. The dragon has a really badass presence, but its attacks aren't that amazing. And it also dies really fast. I wish this combat would be as amazing as the boss design itself.
Right, a perfect map for a final boss where the building they stand on crumble slowly, reducing the spaces they can walk on to evade the dragon's attack :^O
Someone I know in Instagram spoiled it by saying "Wheere is this guy from?" Only a moment later, I saw joke comments like Minecraft HD. Then I saw the comment "thanks for spoiling it all again for Odyssey..." I *actually* thought it was Fire Emblem.

John Montalvo According to Nintendo Mario has done too many things (and no plumbing in years) to be considered a plumber anymore. So they consider him a freelancer now. Also, he was originally a carpenter.
Pojackel The fuck? I specifically said not dying in 3 hits, obviously meaning more health and a health bar is more variable than just three hit system, not only that, but it's often obscured to hide how much health the boss has, making you take decisions more conciously and making you figure out weak spots, point is, this is too short and easy especially for an imposing looking boss.
Despite the fact that this Dragon has the most gorgeous boss design, I think it’s actually the easiest boss in the whole game. Like seriously, any of you agree that a gorgeous graphic design like that is worthy of a boss with a little more to the challenge. Like something that big only goes down because someone who’s the size of an insect compared to him ground pounds his head three times. Now I’ll tell you what, his tired quote when you interact with him may imply that he was too tired to continue fighting Mario which maybe is why he went down to easily. He’s too tired to care about exterminating Mario or helping Bowser get his way.
That dragon is literally just a Fatalis that spits lightning instead of fire. Could this have something to do with the DLC in Monster Hunter Generations?
the ruined castle, the eerie atmosphere and big ass realistic dragon. this gave some ptsd as I had beaten dark souls a week before getting to this boss fight for the first time lol
I have two games for the switch. This and skyrim. I was playing Skyrim before I did this boss and my reaction was. Did the antagonists in both my games just team up?
Bowser: Hey Alduin,old buddy come help me kill this boi. Alduin:gud bai dovakiin,I will be back. Mario: *WHAT IS THIS I THOUGHT THIS WAS MARIO NOT SKYRIM*
Scrolling in my subscription, sees Super Mario Odyssey boss video, notices the thumbnail, not sure it was a joke or not, clicks on it, turns out to be real. Wow, I'm surprised that they put a realistic looking dragon that looks like the dragons you fight as a boss/final boss in a Fire Emblem game in a Mario game.😮
What makes this boss so funny is how there is absolutely NO context for this boss. No explanation for where it comes from or how Bowser hired it. A perfect contrast to the other bosses
He looks like the Ender Dragon. You can see, He is black, He shoots purple stuff, and when he is on hit mode, when you go on his head there are purple things that look like endermites.
*Friend:* What game are you playing? *Me:* mario *Friend:* _sees dragon boss_ *Me:* _sees dragon boss_ *Friend:* ... *Me:* ... *Friend:* ... *Me:* I think it's a Skyrim crossover
When you play the part, you got see that the dragon seems so real!! Its eyes and skin so alive! And the huge castle gave me the creeps. I never expected such an evolutionary super mario!
Waragai, on working on Dark Souls: I remember when I was drawing the Undead Dragon, I submitted a design draft that depicted a dragon swarming with maggots and other gross things. Miyazaki handed it back to me saying, "This isn't dignified. Don't rely on the gross factor to portray an undead dragon. Can't you instead try to convey the deep sorrow of a magnificent beast doomed to a slow and possibly endless descent into ruin?" As far as this boss is concerned, Nintendo doesn't have design philosophies. They just have outlines of interest with zero depth .
You know being a Darksouls boss, this dragon has it pretty good here in a Mario game. He doesn't need to try exceedingly hard to kill people because the worst he gets is a few unpleasant head bumps from a tiny plumber. No undead warriors with death wishes repeatedly trying to kill you and harvest your soul.
I love how this goes from fighting a cartoonish chef bird and now Mario fights this hyper realistic dragon that looks like something out of the elder scrolls

Ifunny led me here
You cannot escape that bastard
😂
Out of all the things we could have as a boss in a mario game, a realistic dark dragon was one of them.
Please Nintendo, don't change.
a realistic dark dragon that can use lighting.
Realistic Dragon? I didn’t know dragons were real
Zex as in not spyro the dragon. I know you were joking but
I loved that fight! Darks Souls Switch addition
@@zex6019 by realistic he means what humans imagined how dragons would be if they were real
Most Badass boss in the entire Mario franchise. Not wacky or too cartoonish. I'm loving this Dragon
ExtremeThunderGaming Ikr? I LOVE this boss! :D
i love him too he is too cute x)
*cough*shadow queen, dimentio, count bleck, shroobs, and dark star*cough*
AirborneCub2701
Those are also wacky and cartoony. Dark, yes, but also wacky and cartoony.
+ Codrian Drasil the shadow queen wasn't cartoony or wacky
Pretty sure alot of people first time playing the game asked themselves “Is this a mario game?”
Even I asked myself that
The design for the dragon is just epic, wish there was more to explore in the ruined kingdom
It's called the "ruined" kingdom for a reason, nothing else to find there because everything was RUINED aka destroyed, everyone packed out and no one lives there anymore so it makes sense that there isn't much to find.
I don’t think could handle a bigger Ruined Kingdom
I love how the dragon has a photorealistic design that just clashes with the cartoonish look of every other character in the game.
It’s more impressive than Gobblegut from Super Mario Galaxy 2.
This truly is *the dark souls of mario games*
Except it’s easy :\
Gkastone The Ultimate Stand Master haha i said it because of the style of this boss
roneybill
And the level itself, while you’re at it, feels very Dark Souls-ish.
Fuck you fanboy
Nope
I absolutely love how hats are such an important mechanic. A character wearing one lets you know it is not for posession.
Bowser: "See you later plumber boy!"
Mario: "Im not a plumber anyomore even nintendo said that..."

This is the most epic boss battle of the entire game
Ryan Jones Agreed I just wish it hadn’t been spoiled for me on UA-cam when I was looking up help videos for the game .
The 3rd wave is hard to avoid, especially the moment when it hits the head to the ground, sending shookwaves.
Ryan Jones looks to easy
Tz Wild every boss has a difficult version good luck with that
unavoidable chin move
"I have a hat ship"
"I sent a wedding invite to Alduin"
"Shit"
Looks more like Deathwing to me.
Morgoth at least it wasn't ancalagon the black.
Too bad mario isn't dragonborn.
Who would invite Aludin to a wedding? Well Bowser of course
KillerMarius1 He is Paarthanux though.
So when we defeated him back in 2011..we just banished him to another world....ALDUIN IS BACK!!!!
Todd Howard did it again
@@davidfodre1375 it just works
Remember when Mario defeated a Behemoth King in Mario Sports Mix? This feels similarly weird and epic.
22neptun Yes. Yes it does...
Yeah good times
I actually made that comparison too. Mario Sports Mix was my childhood.
Its Ya Boi, Guzma how old are you? 12?
Oh yeah I forgot about that boss fight. It makes since now.
Man, game of thrones really stepped up their game.
At least we now know where Balerion the black dread came from lol
Of thrones
João Paulo Aguiar Psst. He actually came from a land of dragons and dragon riders called Valyria. But than an event of apocalyptic proportions happened and dragons and dragon riders almost went extinct. But the Targaryens fled before they were caught in the Doom of Valyria.
Actually they left their game and came to this one
Game of Thrones if Lyanna Mormont had a dragon.
(Me in deep woods and sees the T-Rex) Man this is the scariest moment ever!
(Me getting to this part)
*O h m y . . .*
_there's a t. rex in the woods?!_
yeah, and it's hostile.
Do not stupid
Not
*be, idiot.
The sheer out of placeness of that dragon is what makes it so brilliant. Now if only it could have spoken to Mario in Paarthurnax's voice
How the hell did bowser get smaug on his side?
Scottie Burgess
Reptilian relationship?
Alex Hackett as paarthurnax once said, " it is always wise to mistrust a dovah".
Magical Resurrection Spells?
The dragon isn't on his side.
The dragon doesn't fight you when you return to the Ruined Kingdom later.
Keeoh that's because it's still tired after the first fight, if you talk to him he even says "So... tired."
its just like dark souls
Lightning is bad for dragons though
But I can see it with the way the arena looks like
The Dark Souls of bing bing wahoo
Sebas True, but Midir's beam of fucking doom reminds me of lightning.
Hey, there are some dragons in Dark Souls that use lightning. Like the blue drakes.
remember that time when mario killed a fucking dragon
Nothing stands in the way of Mario rescuing Peach.
*_Nothing._*
Remember that time when mario was a dragon
Me no like bad words 😥😦😔😞😭
I wouldn’t say kill

Is this boss a reference to the fact that Mario's voice actor also voice acts Paarthurnax? (Paarthurnax is a dragon in Skyrim)
Wait REALLY!? 😲
Yep, it's hard to tell tho.
This was simply jaw droppingly awesome. Pretty easy boss, but the look and feel, omg.
Yeah the 1st and 3nd phase is not hard at all but the 3rd stage is kind of challenging
Now I understand why this game is 10+ rated...
It's 7+ in PEGI regions
It’s only 10+ cuz it shows MARIO nipples
@Kid Who Kicked Arnold Schwarzenegger
Incorrect.
Only this and the nipples
Killing a goomba is more graphic than this boss-fight
Holy shit they actually let a dragon in Mario 😧
Killalox123 yep
Gobblegut though? Debuted ages ago in the Galaxy series
Gobblegut was a cartoony dragon though. This thing is straight out of Skyrim.
Killalox123 that dragon scares the living sh*t out of me
Funny how that's an actual dragon and Skyrim is full of wyverns.
Bowser: “Let’s see you survive this Plumber Boy!”

George Bucket like maybe having you go around the body hitting weak spots while he's flying?
Metoer like attacks, slashing actual fire.
Fire Dancer Kiawe you mean kind of like dire miralis?
Fire Dancer Kiawe He can’t Breath Fire
The dragon is called Lord of Lightning or the Ruined Dragon

This is Mario Odyssey Or Skyrim?
Metal Sonic actually, it looks more like Fire Emblem with that dragon and the level design.
Right, a perfect map for a final boss where the building they stand on crumble slowly, reducing the spaces they can walk on to evade the dragon's attack :^O
I know I said the same thing lol
Tyrone Tuliao that's the same as Fates when you're at the endgame chapter.^-^

Mario Odyssey is the Dark Souls of 3D platforming
